Well guys The season on public land came in on the 15th,but,I had to work.I was asked to fill in at work on the 16th which was a Sunday so I didn't mind.(no Sunday hunting on wma)Well,I should have been gettin off of work at 7pm Sunday,but at 2pm I was on my way to the hospital.While trying to lift a large hydraulic cylinder,a welded on pad eye broke and the hook and block of the chain fall smacked me in the side of the head.It fractured my cheek bone,and has me on the couch for a few days.The season gets started,the weather is the best you could ask for,guys around are reporting the deer and hogs are moving,and I know where there are tons of acorns falling on the wma,and I'm laying on the couch surfing the web,staring at my bow which is patiently waiting to send some arrows down range!Man I gotta get out of here! :banghead:
Could have been much worse. Be thankful you didn't lose more than a few days of deer season,
I feel your pain. Last year I filleted my middle finger on my shooting hand open the day before the season started. Couldnt draw my bow no matter how hard I tried. Like VM13 said, a few days of deer season lost is an alright price to pay for what could have been much much worse!! Take care and go get um soon!!

Take care a yourself then go get em.Good luck.
Some people will do anything for a couple days off and some attention....
Seriously....Get well, the Deer will still be there in a couple of days....
Glad thats all that happened....you will get em once your able.
Heal well, and get the deer later. The good thing is....there will be a later!
heal quick and go get em :thumbsup:
Welcome to the club. I am recuperating from elbow surgery on my bow arm. Can't even pull my lightest bow yet.
What, you got smacked on your anchor side? Makes your arras fly left 'til the swelling goes down.. :knothead:
I gotta wait til October, so I may be a bit less than fully sympathetic here. ;)

I glad you weren't seriously hurt you'll heal count your blessings.The short hours you will spend in the woods will be much more productive watch! Heal well!Oh by the way who welded that I BOLT!!?? Suppose you were under the Cylinder wowsers!
